The Challenge

IREX struggled to standardize the way time and payroll information was captured and calculated. IREX’s ERP system was not flexible enough to accommodate requirements from multiple subsidiaries and multiple project environments. Their inability to standardize resulted in disparate and inefficient systems (spreadsheets, customer systems to paper-based solutions), costing them $175,000 per year.

The Solution

The DTC flexible project centric model enabled IREX to use one standardized system, configured in multiple subsidiaries to meet each project’s requirements.

The Outcome

Today, IREX’s time and payroll data for all 12 subsidiaries and all 55 branch offices is captured in DTC, validated and submitted weekly to JD Edwards for payroll processing, saving IREX $150,000 annually.
